Opportunity is also called bad fate.
By chance, it is fate and the entanglement of evil debts.
After a short rest, Carlos selected a legion and a half of about 4,400 soldiers with good physical strength and willpower. They followed the orcs' old transportation route and prepared to sneak across the mountain pass to attack Stonard. The remaining The tired army was guarding the Dark Door while doing renovations.
Before Khadgar or the mages of Dalaran studied the Dark Portal, Carlos didn't want to play with snakes and take a one-day trip to Draenor. If the air composition of the two worlds was different, he would suck himself to death in one breath. I'm afraid I don't want to become an eternal emperor who will leave his name in history.
Therefore, after the surprise attack on the Dark Gate, what was left to defend was more than 10,000 veteran warriors whose combat effectiveness was like a landslide.
The orcs sent by Orgrim to retake the Dark Portal did not choose the old path.
Because it's too far.
Under the leadership of the Burning Blade Clan, the orcs carried forward the fearless spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, passed through the dark and narrow underground passages, and arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Portal two days in advance.
The two remaining troops perfectly staggered their marching routes.
Change your home for fun, change your home for fun.
After Carlos successfully attacked the Dark Portal where the orcs were stationed, he finally knew that he would have to pay back sooner or later.
Unfortunately, this time, destiny is on the alliance's side.
The previous surprise attack can be called a feat in the history of human warfare. The soldiers overcame the dual test of will and physical fitness, and accepted the overlapping hardships of hunger and cold, in exchange for control of the Dark Portal.
This is a victory of willpower, a victory of spirit.
But regardless of willpower or spirit, victory will not always be achieved. After the war, more than 30% of the alliance soldiers were exhausted and fell ill. Even with the help of holy knights' actual holy light spells to heal, large-scale non-combat attrition is inevitable. .
No, Carlos would never leave so many people to guard the Dark Portal.
The actions of the Burning Blade Sword Masters were quick enough.
But the distance between Stonard and the Dark Portal is just that long. By the time the orcs were ready, the Alliance army had begun to recover.
What's more, the post-war summary is a fine tradition of the alliance. Under the skillful hands of the dwarf craftsmen, a circle of simple mines has been placed around the Dark Portal. The lethality of these inferior mines is a joke, and the only advantage is that they are loud enough.
After losing their concealment, the orcs could only choose to attack by force.
So Carlos finally got the chance to say that classic line.
"What gave you the courage to face my anger!"
On this rainy night, the orcs, who were also tortured by hunger and cold, launched a death charge towards the Dark Portal.
On this rainy night, the fearful and angry Alliance soldiers set up their shields and raised their swords, waiting for the orcs to come forward.
On this rainy night, the last sword masters of the Burning Blade Clan put on a dance performance of storm and sword with their lives burning.
On this rainy night, the Paladins lit up the dark night with holy light and created a shocking brilliance with thunder.
Carlos stood on the last platform leading to the Dark Door, looking at the endless battle scene below him, his eyes as calm as water.
Simple arithmetic problems.
If the tribe really gave up the frontal battlefield and retreated across the board, then there would be more than just a few people besieging the Dark Gate at this moment, and the dark swamp in the distance would not be so peaceful.
If the orcs have not given up their desire for victory, then these orcs are just a small force that is still fighting for peace.
I have been preparing for this surprise attack for more than three months. How can you orcs try to drag me down to your level?
In terms of experience, I, Carlos Barov, have more experience than you.
When the surprise attack loses a strange word, the orcs have already lost half the battle.
It's just that the way home is ahead, and the deep fluorescence emitted by the Dark Door is like a torch in the night, attracting orc moths to the flame.
While the Union soldiers were resting, they repaired defensive fortifications such as antlers and horses, which were now of great use.
Although the human soldiers were not in good condition, the orc warriors were not much better.
In the nearly four years of war between the Alliance and the Horde, both sides have continued to learn, grow, and hone their respective war skills.
Only today's battle seems to turn back the times several hundred years.
A large group of orcs was dragged back by a larger group of humans. The exhausted soldiers from both groups, tortured by the dark swamp, seemed to have lost the ability to kill the enemy with one move. In the darkness, under the dim torches, the shouts of killing shook the sky, but they were nowhere to be seen. Corpses littered the fields.
The sword masters of the Burning Blade Clan took the lead, using their sharp blades to break through the array of Alliance sergeants, and rushed towards the Dark Portal. Carlos's last elite, his Guards Regiment, and himself, totaled a total of One hundred and one Paladins stood on the only way to the Dark Portal, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
The winning or losing of the war seems to have nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. Regardless of the Alliance or the Horde, the morale of both sides is low to an exaggerated level. The reason for supporting them to continue fighting is just to expect the "heroes" to perform miracles.
Even with warning, the orcs rushing out of the darkness still stimulated the exhausted bodies of the Alliance soldiers.
As for the failure of the surprise attack, in this storming battle, the orcs also felt desperate when faced with humans who far outnumbered their own.
In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, the outcome is only in the hands of less than a thousand people.
In the end, will the Sword Masters be able to break through the enemy formation, or will Carlos be able to guard the Dark Portal?
The final battle begins.
The number of orcs who can follow the sword master to rush to the Dark Portal is not large, not even as many as the sword masters of the Burning Blade Clan. However, these two hundred orcs have the power of thousands of troops. Everyone seems to have the spirit that I alone am an army.
But what they faced was Carlos, a paladin, a king's personal guard who was known for his martial arts, and four hundred and seventeen veterans who had survived the long war.
Once upon a time, Carlos's bodyguards numbered as many as a thousand, but the battlefield like a flesh-and-blood mill has consumed the lives of these soldiers. So far, this bodyguard belonging to the Guards Corps has only 310 places left. Eight people.
Paladins are not afraid of death. As the king's personal guards, these soldiers' duty is to die for the king.
When the two strongest forces of the Alliance and the Horde collide, only sparks fly.
It was clear that taking a step back would save their lives, but the guards would rather have their armor penetrated than use their chests to combine the weapons of the orcs, allowing their comrades to cut off the hideous orcs in front of them.
It is clear that they can escape by leaving their teammates behind, but the sword masters use their lives to defend the highest honor that belongs to the orcs, and use their actions to prove what it means to win or die.
A battle involving less than a thousand people was even more brutal than the mass chaos involving tens of thousands of people not far away.
The sword wind swirls, it is the dance of death, the holy light shines, it is the place of glory.
Carlos's eyes were filled with power, piercing the darkness and feeling the passion for fighting.
"You guys stay here and don't let Xiaoxiao go in or out."
After giving orders to the guards guarding him, Carlos left the Dark Door and walked down the steps step by step.
He could name every guard who died in battle, and every orc sword master who appeared in front of him felt familiar.
Carlos suddenly no longer envied Turalyon in the distance.
This battle tonight is destined to be the end of a legend.
And the new legend is destined to be remembered by the world on this day.
